Hi,

see this code as an example:

C#

string root = "C:\\Ajith\\aaaa";
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(root + "\\A");
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(root + "\\B");
System.IO.File.Move(root + "\\test1.pdf", root + "\\A\\test1.pdf");
System.IO.File.Move(root + "\\test2.pdf", root + "\\B\\test2.pdf");

To get the list of all files in your directory you could use this code:

C#

string [] files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(root);

Try this

C#

string path = @"C:\Ajith\aaaa\MyTest.pdf";
        string path2 = @"C:\Ajith\aaaa\A\MyTest.pdf";

if (!File.Exists(path)) 
            {
                // This statement ensures that the file is created, 
                // but the handle is not kept. 
                using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path)) {}
            }

            System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\Ajith\aaaa\A");

            // Move the file.
            File.Move(path, path2);

//Create Dir//

C#

Use System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("D:\ad");

//For Move All Files, Use File Copy Algo//
-----------
else
//File Copy//

C#

System.IO.File.Copy("C:\Ajith\aaaa\hi.pdf","D:\hi.pdf");

String l_sDirectoryName = "C:\\Consolidated";
     DirectoryInfo l_dDirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(l_sDirectoryName);
     if(l_dDirInfo.Exists ==false )
           Directory.CreateDirectory(l_sDirectoryName);
       List<String> MyMusicFiles = Directory.GetFiles("c:\\Music", "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).ToList();
